I'm very pleased with this design...it really captures the essence of an elegant Venetian mask with just a hint of the clockwork theme. This is my third attempt at the design and I think I like this pale version best. :)

A "Colombina" is the traditional ornate Venetian mask with loads of baroque swirls and precious metals...my version of the Colombina sports real brass clock hands and antique brass hardware. "Colombina of time", in Italian; "Colombina Di Tempo".

It is made from one piece of 8oz leather, hand carved & shaped without molds or forms, then dyed & painted with colorfast acrylics in rich gold, cream, and pale gold. Then I augmented and decorated it with real brass clock parts, securely bolted to the piece.

Signed, dated, numbered original. "Colombina Di Tempo V3"
